"Entitled "Frühe Jahre", this collection is the first time C-Schulz's early work from late 1980s and early 1990s has been reissued in any format. Schulz's first LP, "10. Hose Horn", was introduced alongside other debut LPs from Jim O'Rourke and Frank Dommert on Dommert's Entenpfuhl label in 1991. Combining the cathartic sounds of industrial, early techno, and innovative pop with inspiration from acousmatic, New Music, and Dada, Schulz's music is a prime example of the Cologne experimental music scene of the time. Rhythmic delights, outlandish juxtapositions and a sustained, unresolved, aurally-fascinating tension evoke dramatic, film-like meditations. Also included in the collection are the tracks from "7. Party Disco" and various other cassette, 7" singles, and compilations, as well as a previously unreleased digital-only bonus track. With new liner notes by Marcus Schmickler, who also co-produced many of the tracks. Remastering of the original master recordings was done by Rashad Becker." (label info)
